I mean, cooooooome on already with these ridiculous re-paints!!!!!

Kup/Swerve/Hoist?????

What a shame. Hoist and Trailbreaker were my fav g1 figures too....what a shame to see Hoist given such a lazy reincarnation.

Weapon: Rocket Launcher
With the exception of the lack of crane (which is an easy Shapeways fix if it bug you that much), it's pretty spot on to the original. Definitely an awesomely well done update.

Yes, since the theme is Machine Wars, not G1:

Plus, the pick-up may have been forced as he may be repainted into G2 Electro. Just read the original threads, the info is all over.

Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

In all fairness though, I prob would like this better, and accept it more, if it wasn't already 2 other characters. Kup and Swerve.

Technically he still is G1 Hoist, just in a new form. Machine Wars takes place after G2 supposedly, in fact this set is set after G2: Redux in the Wings Universe.

Not a matter of perspective....more like a matter of "me reading the entire article next time." :P
